Entre la vie

In the quiet moments between night and dawn, find solace in the stillness. Walk through the city streets with a sense of wonder, as if each step is an unspoken poem. Wear what feels like an extension of your dreams, not merely fabric against skin.

Look at the train schedules not for the sake of punctuality, but to understand the rhythm of the city’s heartbeat. Pay your own way, for there is dignity in forging your path with your own hands. When you apologize, do so with sincerity, for the weight of an insincere apology can anchor your soul.

Listen to the music of the street performers; their songs are fragments of stories woven into the urban tapestry. Don’t linger too long in one place, for life’s beauty often lies in its transience. Patience, like time, is an ever-shifting concept; let it flow naturally without forcing it.

Read books as if each page holds a secret to the universe. Let go of possessions that no longer serve you, creating space for new experiences to enter your life. Embrace the feeling of change, for it signals growth and renewal.

Carry a notebook instead of a camera, to capture the ephemeral thoughts and fleeting moments that a lens might miss. There are sights and feelings that words can immortalize in ways photographs cannot. When fear grips you, recite your favorite passages or poems, finding comfort in the familiar rhythm of the words.
